Don’t hate me for getting this New Bike…

[@JordanBoostmaster]

This is my POV Setup: (affiliate) GoPro Hero 12: amzn.to/3ZQOCtW Windslayer: amzn.to/3SSzF8T 3-in-1 mount for GoPro: amzn.to/46Nzakt DJI Mount: amzn.to/3PWcFTy

[@professionalmola3852]

"Less travel than I'm used to" 😂 pretty sure just about every new bike he gets is going to have less travel than the boost monster

[@TheBrokenMountainBiker]

You'd get on well with the Kenevo! Same power system but on a longer, slacker bike with 180mm travel front and rear and 27.5 wheels.

[@JwallzMTB]

just flip the rear on this bike and it'll give you more slack, they literally designed it this way. plus why give up the mullet? its the best setup and the geo on this is perfect

[@georgiyonevski3894]

Dude, adjust the geometry - lower the bottom bracket via the flip chip in the back and slacken the headtube with the angle cups that should come with the bike. In that way I feel waaay more confident on my Levo pro on the gnarly stuff and pretty much everywhere! Give it a try!

[@cameronmartin719]

Love to see you on a mullet set up! I'm excited to see what you think of riding a 29 inch front wheel on an all mountain/enduro bike after a few rides.

[@bstill30]

Swap in a 170 air spring and standard Cascade Link and make it a Super Levo. I’ve been very happy with mine at that travel 🤘🏻

[@bautistasantucho5733]

Our hero has fallen into the dark side😭

[@JohnBreezy22]

No No! Your hero has a bike that eliminates the need for a truck to do shuttle runs. 💪🏼

[@mrdrifty6580]

You will to in time everyone will 😂😂

[@RyanWentland-rb2ow]

Personally I like the 29" fount and 29" back but what will you do over the winter?

[@BOOGiNS]

​​@@JohnBreezy22nah he's promoting inexperienced, self entitled cancel culture dimwits to ride our trails that we built. These entitled newbies with endless bank accounts don't belong on our trails. Stop promoting this white collar bullshit.

[@alexramirez118]

The dark side is fun. Fun on the way up, fun on the way down.

[@phillipwatters3752]

When I started out freeriding sometime in the late 1990's I bought my first MTB video on VHS. It was called "Shift" and my favorite segment was Wade Simmons on his Rocky Mountain Pipeline. I watched it so many times so that I could imitate his riding style. That's pretty cool that you got to ride with him and Vanderham!

[@99MrJ99]

Great video I pretty much wore out the vhs kranked 3 and ride to the hills 😅

[@Esteb858]

Being able to session a trail you like or a trail you’re trying to get better on over and over again has been the biggest advantage with an ebike.

[@Flex-Jitsu]

Hell yeah! No hate here. I have a Levo myself and love it. More miles, more smiles. That's a pretty basic model, so if you can, upgrade the parts. Also, I have the long travel Cascade link which increased my rear suspension from 150mm to 165mm. And I increase my fork to 170mm. So it's now 170/165 travel. Let's see you send that Levo!

[@Drake_Dawley]

Soooo good, the whips feel more natural, you get to enjoy every trail from top to bottom, you cover way more ground in the same amount of time you'd normally ride. Ebike the world

[@darius4905]

Only had one opportunity to ride an e-bike and it was amazing hopefully i will have the chance to get one in the future😁 Love the video and that specialized looks and sure rides like a dream!❤

[@LaurentiusTriarius]

Watch your belly grow... 😂 Seriously you'll love it for certain situations, my son had a turbo levo alloy and we sold it but I was very tempted to keep it these things are worth big bucks for being a fourth bike...

[@samuelpetersen8425]

The opportunities with a E-bike seem to be pretty huge, I'm stoked to see what you do with them

[@smoothlandin]

I never thought id get an e bike but when i tried a kenovo sl, i was sold. I turn it off for the decents/jumps and back on for the climbs. It weighs about the same as my bike did 10 years ago, so its like the best of both worlds. I wish it were aluminum so i could really send it without worrying about crashing but overall its like a mini dh bike one day(off) and a xc bike(on) the next.

[@raindropcleaners]

I purchased this same bike a couple months ago. I love it!

[@Bengy22]

Would love to see you test out one of the sub 40lb emtb's on the market!

[@kenetics1344]

Put a 27.5 wheel on the front and a 180mm fork

[@vrhkrv4696]

Good to see some emtb content too. Try to ask Specialized to send you the Kenevo too after you'r done with this bike. That bike has all you wished for in this video - 27.5'' wheels, 180mm travel and even a dual crown fork. Should be a win win deal both for you and Specialized since your audience would appreciate seeing you on it :)

[@TeamCykelhold]

you could do 180mm fork with a 27.5 wheel. gives same atc measure and preserves geo completely. You are in for a steep HA on full compression but the rest of the time it's like a 27.5 with more travel (using the 29" fork). I did it with my Orbea Rise and loved it.

[@andrewrivera4029]

Dude you love those big old heavy DH bikes from back in the day so an e-bike isn’t a big switch but they’re awesome on the uphill! I bought the Canyon Torque ON mullet and I love it, I haven’t been able to kill the large capacity battery yet and have done some epic 30-35 mile rides with it getting mega DH! Enjoy!

[@JeepingNet]

I have the same bike have have sense added a cascade long link with Ohlin's coil and an 170mm fork up front and boy did it transform the bike! Last night was also my first ride on 155 cranks and I'm already in love with that change too. I love everything about this bike.

[@sparrtaniscool]

So glad to see some specialized🥲

[@Smettli]

E-bikes are great! Especially when you live in a hill-ridden area like me :) And you get to gather enough speed uphill to do fun little jumps on the side of the road!

[@DoesItTrack]

I have a Kenevo when not on the demo, it's a whole new world of awesomeness. There are 2 types of bikers, die hard analog guys, and those that are having a lot more fun. LOL! (just jokes fellas!)

[@onetime242]

A couple things. 1, there is no reason to turn the bike off on the descents, so don’t. There will be times when you need the power to boost up and over obstacles or off a jump or out of a tight turn or an uphill transition. 2, get a long travel ebike. Mine is 190/200mm travel with a full power Bosch race motor and it’s full 27.5! It’s by far the best bike I’ve ever ridden/owned. Even better than my full DH bike.

[@JohnBreezy22]

Jordan. I’m curious. Why do you turn the motor off on the DH? I ride an ebike, and I’m typically going faster downhill than the motor allows, so the power has no affect on the DH.

[@JordanBoostmaster]

I just don't want to accidentally go faster than I normally would go! I like to go my 'natural' speed I guess.

[@BlacqueJacqueShellacque_]

@@JordanBoostmaster Pretty sure you can customize the levels of assist on that thing. I set my low setting to feel similar (or maybe slightly more power) than my normal bike. That seems to cancel out the drag you get from it being off. Also nice for riding with people with regular bikes.

[@_Jake.From.Statefarm_]

Screw the haters, don't apologize lol.

[@tilmanroedel2667]

boostmobile is a crazy name 🔥🔥🔥

[@brandontrent7314]

My 180/180 kenevo is perfect for that stuff. Gotta have the best brakes though

[@scottpratico1315]

Similar experience. Bought a Devinci e Troy 29er to go w the Troy 27.5 acoustic. The small bike is way easier to ride double black tech on but Big E is awesome for long adventure rides, quick laps or when the weather is too hot for long climbs.

[@mtbville]

Awesome video buddy 🤩👍 I don't own an ebike myself (at least not yet), but I would get video topics with them much easier where I live 💁

[@NathanaelV]

bro the climb on a hardtail is the best part

[@sjaan7370]

Sweet ride, vid and deal with them fronting it to you for a couple months. And for peeps that say emtbing isn't work, throwing a 50lbs+ bike around down a mountain works the upper body/core pretty hard, let alone the crazy tech climbs you can do/try now. And yeah, 170mm/160mm is the min I'd go with if purchasing a new ebb, but 160mm/150mm didn't seem to hold you back too much 😎

[@andersonsridebikes]

Im curious about what geo setup you are using. 160/150 isn’t a ton of travel, but you can’t install the slack headset cup and put the bottom bracket in the low position to make it handle steep and rowdy trails more effectively. Slack headset cup and low bottom bracket gives you a 63.5 head tube angle. That should make the steep stuff feel much better.

[@rtgMTB]

Man I wish specialized sent me an e-bike

[@BrandonWatkins614]

Hard to believe people are actually still upset about Ebikes at this point 😂

[@Alex-xt9hn]

MTBers for ya

[@beerenmusli8220]

At least they are not upset about dropper posts then anymore, ey?

[@Gyver51]

Nice! You can play around with the geo settings 4 sure for the steep stuff.

[@KostasGkinis]

Actually sick bro

[@kylemccartney1831]

My local mtb Park, Highland, has Wednesduro nights and my first time, I was climbing for my first lap, and these two dudes on e-bikes did three laps before I got to the top.

[@152killa]

I just got this bike and love it

[@JwallzMTB]

this the best ebike on the market, im so glad you got it. i get more of a workout on my ebike then my amish bikes

[@rockyshoresstudios4987]

E-bikes are awesome, don’t have one yet, just did a demo of the Transition repeater, would love to try the relay as well before buying one. Love my pivot Firebird, but man I get so much more biking done in a day on an E bike

[@ashleytombs]

Just the look on Jordan’s face in the intro says he didn’t want to make this video😂😂 Fairplay to you Riding jaws that sort of trail on a heavy. E bike is ban accident. waiting to happen 😂 £5.800 10k in Canadian is a bargain compared to My friend who has a top spec Levo which comes in at £14,200 and something Like 24.4k in Canadian

[@growlith6969]

I always have to laugh when people think e-bike weight is a negative. It's stable, beefy, jumps and lands great, handles chunk like a champ, and all my friends that predicted disaster on some tough Colorado trails simply couldn't drop me on bikes that weighed half as much and cost twice as much. The people at Specialized aren't dumb, those things work incredibly well.

[@ashleytombs]

@@growlith6969 I respect your comment Jordan did have a few sketchy moments stopping Trying to stop EB on a steep trail is like trying to stop runaway freight train and if it’s wet and muddy it’s virtually impossible up grading your brakes and bigger rotors is a must

[@DeluxPlays_]

pretty sure it only goes down in battery when you peddle so turning it off on the downhills doesn't make a difference, I could be wrong tho

[@MTBPerspective]

ymmv but I leave assist on low while going down but we have a lot of grade reversals in my region. Also, getting used to shifting an eMTB takes a bit to get used to but once you are hitting things in the right gears for the motor's power band it is hard to find places to stall out and I'm not even very good in general - I used to race a bunch of XC marathon category races but that is a totally different riding style and short travel, even hard tails sometimes.

[@TheDamnhook]

If you can - give the Levo/Kenevo SL a try, I’d love to hear your opinion on that :)

[@peytonlake763]

Might have to do the e-bike class for the ews next year

[@Tequila628]

Nice of Specialized to make this bike weight the same as a Boostmonster! They are fans of yours, Jordan! 🤙🤙🤙

[@planeandsimple431]

So many people say that having the extra weight at the bottom bracket gives better loop out/otb stability on jumps (lower center of g). As a full-on, jump-centric hoser, did you notice any difference in that regard? Guess you'll find out at Whistler...

[@JordanBoostmaster]

I don't know if I noticed that as much but I guess that can be true a bit, I definitely prefer to have a lighter bike for jumping though! It's way harder to give style and whips with so much weigh

[@johnssmith4005]

I DEMAND MORE BOOST MONSTER VIDEOS ! Pretty Please !

[@JordanBoostmaster]

yes I have 3 videos coming up soon that feature that bike :)

[@Old-Man-MTB]

I like your e-bike video and your acoustic videos too!

[@Emtbtoday]

Problems with E bikes is there still using normal mountain bike parts on them that arent strong enough for an extra 20kg so parts ware out faster rims cracking constantly so on! Actually Evan made a great video showing all this and also saying not to use turbo going uphill you could strip the gears on the motor and if its a shimano motor the motherboard isn't protected its just covered in shards metal shavings from the stripped gears sitting roght next to an open motherboard! Absolutely crazy design

[@99MrJ99]

Nice I just got an ebike a couple months ago. Been loving it. Theres a lot of good deals on them right now. Probs post covid overstock 😄

[@mtbmike9866]

Up the fork to 170mm and get a Cascade link to get the rear end to 160 or 165. With a few lighter parts on the bike, it should handle double blacks just fine. Oh and get better brakes and bigger rotors

[@davewallace9048]

First time seeing one of your videos, you sure can ride a bike!! Really enjoyed it!!

[@mustclime5311]

should have gotten a Kenevo.......180 both ends and 27.5.

[@JordanBoostmaster]

that does sound like a better build!

[@beerenmusli8220]

Yo, the Boostmobile is such a sick name!!

[@testtesttesttesttest884]

Dude this thing with a cascade link and ext e-storia is the ride of a lifetime!

[@GearGeekShreds]

Honestly I'm not gonna hate on the eBike because there are cases where A bike like that can make a big difference in what kind of day you have when doing laps. He also doesn't have to ride it 24/7. Knowing Jordan he is going to love this bike but I know that he will still go for the traditional bike sometimes.

[@mikkopuustinen2110]

That camera mount looks just like dji action 2 mount?

[@MarioXcore1]

You have a shredder pass so all good

[@Cam_mtblife]

I rode one of those and honestly there pretty good but are just heavy for jumps and can’t shred as much in the air

[@FlowFinderUSA]

eMTB... this is the way! One of the best decisions I've ever made. eMTB actually improved my overall fitness FACT! *I leave mine in "eco" when descending just to get a touch of acceleration otherwise the bike is dead.

[@blakkpatron]

would be fun to get your take on say the transition relay or a similar lightweight ebike.

[@patrickroup8066]

Mullets the wave so fun to ride

[@gravity.gourmet]

Yeah mate, loving life❤ Maybe swap for a Kenevo if you love the power, but want more travel, or the Kenevo SL if you want more travel and a lighter bike as well. Alex (singletracksampler) has the Kenevo SL as well😊

[@AlexGifford5150]

Broooo you’re finally coming to the 29 dark side! Glad to see this video

[@neil9184]

if u can ask them if you can get a kenevo sl its a lot lighter and has more travel

[@brettegbert6985]

Try the specialized kenevo, bigger travel and u can get full 27.5, they even offer one with a dual crown

[@brentcollins9727]

AWESOME RIDING!!

[@ste_t]

Why turn it off on the downhills? Put it in eco or trail mode. You only use battery when its giving you assist and the odd pedal stroke on a dh is nothing.

[@toryn_mtb9765]

If you hold the + it will go in to micro tune so you can choose what % of assist you receive 👌👌

[@JordanBoostmaster]

yes I have used that as well

[@_Jake.From.Statefarm_]

@@JordanBoostmaster Setting the assistance in the app is the best if you want it to feel more natural. I use mine in Assist/Power 30/100, acceleration- 40% and no shuttle. You get 30% assist but if you pedal hard you'll get the maximum power out of the motor to make it up stuff. Better work out and feels more natural. acceleration is the initial burst, so you can take that off if you want. Shuttle leave off, it makes the motor do all the work and drains the battery, it's for getting back to the car comfortably lol. (That's like a save it for one mode and forget it) Micro tune is great too.

[@rascal1234]

I loved trying this bike out in the past. I would still not buy one. Your title made me think, would it be worth making a mullet out of the Patrol? Fox 38 29er o=n front.

[@DerekWildstar-v7l]

170mm front and Cascade's Levo long shock link for more progression and 165mm rear ftw!

[@Deactivat8]

Can you actually feed the weight difference compared to a regular enduro bike?

[@JordanBoostmaster]

yes absolutely

[@creekboi7]

I love my Stumpy and I bet this is similarly as awesome but easier to get to the top. Just saw your last e-bike video from a few years back too! lol

[@BlacqueJacqueShellacque_]

I can't believe you Jordan!! E-bikes are for CHEATERS! Real mountain bikers either shuttle with a pickup truck or take the lift to the top!!! :D Seriously, have fun. I'm not giving up my normal bike (yet), but having an e-bikes for laps is so much fun. And honestly if I could only afford one, I'd just get an e-bike since I'm mostly riding park style trail centers.

[@AJ-kx8rj]

I love the S-Bikes! Kenevo SL was my last purchase. After demo and stumpie evo. Enjoy!

[@mtbtrailbuilding6813]

Buddy has the same bike, he upped it 10mil front and back. Says it's much better. My eb (rocky altitude pp) is 180/170. Its a gem

[@equi]

Im not understanding how decending that double black is a suspension travel issue. It doesnt appear you are going at all fast enough to get remotely close to bottoming out the suspension in the video. I could see the weight being an issue if you arent used to it, but the travel doesnt seem to come into play - at least in the portion you showed us.

[@JordanBoostmaster]

less travel makes it harder to ride gnarly stuff, it doesn't absorb as much for you

[@ericsharp5079]

You can always tell the people who have never ridden an e bike, just by their comments! Lol I’ve rented that bike in a mullet and loved it!!

[@mikey7278]

Theres only one way to redeem yourself. Put 26" wheels and Monster T's on it 😆

[@JordanBoostmaster]

haha yes :)

[@lezbig535]

[@bertram5148]

Hey Jordan i’m out here in Europe and i can’t really compare pounds to kg, in my head, i would just recommend that you put the Wright in kg on the screen. I love your content. Just a wish all the way from denmark

[@carlmederozemtb]

It's about 24 kg

[@felixbecker8296]

The thing about E-Bikes is that today everyone gets one never uses it offroad, never services it and then they wonder why it doesnt work anymore and thats just one really good bike gone to waste and thats why I don't like certain E-Bikers. but people who get an E-Bike but still own and ride regualr bikes are completley normal and should be respected like every other mountainbiker gets treated as well. But still every time I see an E-Biker next to me or on the road I always try to be faster than them and I have no god damn clue why. It just feels good to me :)

[@bryanwernick]

No hate videos still amazing

[@frankthetankricard]

I'd call it Boost Wayne instead of Boostmobile.

[@johngreason9964]

Kinda scratching my head. Why did specialized give YOU a levo and instead of a full power kenevo 180/180 bike. Either way, I'm stoked for you, man! I love my Eb as well.

[@JordanBoostmaster]

ya that one does look like tons of fun too for sure

[@pietrocampanocruz5071]

They sell about 3-4 levos for each kenevo (I worked a few months at a spz store) so generally it's better to show levos, and if it survives what Jordan will throw at it, it serves the purpose to show that you don't really need all that travel.

[@johngreason9964]

@pietrocampanocruz5071 Yeah, I believe specialized sells way more Levo models, leaving the Kenevo the underdog. After watching Jordan's upload today, the levo definitely shows its lack of travel and struggles. He said it himself. I get promoting the flag ship, but being Kenevo sales are weak, promoting the Kenevo in the hands of Jordan makes sense, especially attracting enduro/dh riders to the Eb market.

[@pataskren7524]

Maybe this will stop the hatred and bs attitudes I’ve experienced for six years. Have a blast man

E-bikes are awesome. I have a normal spindrift but will be getting a E-Bike as well, just easier to go explore and hit trails more often. I have a friend that has lost 24lbs on his because he just rides more and another is a pro rider and trains on an ebike just because he can get more laps in. There are assholes on e and without e but if people are riding that's good to me and especially for those with less conditioning can keep up and enjoy rides with friends again.
